The 2009 Landmark Conference Defensive Player of the Week finished her playing career with 968 career points over three seasons on College Hill, after transferring to Juniata from Hofstra University.

McDowell also tallied 94 three-pointers over her three seasons at Juniata, good enough to ranked seventh among Juniata's all-time leaders.
